美国得州洪水为何如此致命

A deadly crackdown on student-led protests in Bangladesh last year was authorised by then prime minister Sheikh Hasina, according to audio of one of her phone calls verified by BBC Eye.
In the audio, which was leaked online in March, Hasina says she authorised her security forces to "use lethal weapons" against protesters and that "wherever they find [them], they will shoot".
Prosecutors in Bangladesh plan to use the recording as crucial evidence against Hasina, who is being tried in absentia at a special tribunal for crimes against humanity.
Up to 1,400 people died in last summer's unrest, according to UN investigators. Hasina, who fled to India, and her party reject all charges against her.
A spokesperson for her Awami League party denied the tape showed any "unlawful intention" of "disproportionate response".
The leaked audio of Hasina's conversation with an unidentified senior government official is the most significant evidence yet that she gave direct authorisation to shoot anti-government protesters, tens of thousands of whom had taken to the streets by last summer.
The protests began against civil service job quotas for relatives of those who fought in the 1971 war of independence and escalated into a mass movement that ousted Hasina, who had been in power for 15 years. It the worst violence Bangladesh had seen since the 1971 war.
Some of the bloodiest scenes occurred on 5 August, the day Hasina fled by helicopter before crowds stormed her residence in Dhaka.
The BBC World Service investigation established previously unreported details about a police massacre of protesters in the capital - including a much higher death toll.
Hasina was at her residence in Dhaka, known as the Ganabhaban, for the duration of the call which took place on 18 July, a source with knowledge of the leaked audio told the BBC.
It was a crucial moment in the demonstrations. Security officials were responding to public outrage at police killings of protesters captured on video and shared across social media. In the days following the call, military-grade rifles were deployed and used across Dhaka, according to police documents seen by the BBC.
The recording the BBC examined is one of numerous calls involving Sheikh Hasina that were made by the National Telecommunications Monitoring Centre (NTMC), a Bangladeshi government body responsible for monitoring communications.
The audio of the call was leaked in early March this year - it's unclear by whom. Since the protests, numerous clips of Hasina's calls have appeared online, many of them unverified.
The leaked 18 July recording was voice matched by the Criminal Investigation Department in the Bangladesh Police with known audio of Sheikh Hasina's voice.
The BBC conducted its own independent verification by sharing the recording with audio forensics experts Earshot, who found no evidence the speech had been edited or manipulated and said it was highly unlikely to have been synthetically generated.
Earshot said the leaked recording was likely to have been taken in a room with the phone call played back on a speaker, due to the presence of distinctive telephonic frequencies and background sounds. Earshot identified Electric Network Frequency (ENF) throughout the recording, a frequency that's often present in audio recordings due to interference between a recording device and mains-powered equipment, an indicator that the audio has not been manipulated.
Earshot also analysed Sheikh Hasina's speech – the rhythm, intonation and breath sounds - and identified consistent noise floor levels, finding no evidence of synthetic artefacts in the audio.
"The recordings are critical for establishing her role, they are clear and have been properly authenticated, and are supported by other evidence," British international human rights barrister Toby Cadman told the BBC. He is advising Bangladesh's International Criminal Tribunal (ICT), the court hearing cases against Hasina and others.
An Awami League spokesperson said: "We cannot confirm whether the tape recording referenced by the BBC is authentic."
Alongside Sheikh Hasina, former government and police officials have been implicated in the killings of protesters. A total of 203 individuals have been indicted by the ICT, of whom 73 are in custody.
BBC Eye analysed and verified hundreds of videos, images and documents detailing police attacks against demonstrators across 36 days.
The investigation found that in one incident on 5 August in Jatrabari, a busy Dhaka neighbourhood, at least 52 people were killed by police, making it one of the worst incidents of police violence in Bangladesh's history. Initial reports at the time suggested 30 dead in Jatrabari on that day.

The BBC investigation uncovered new details about how the massacre started and ended.
Gathering eyewitness footage, CCTV and drone imagery, BBC Eye established that police opened fire indiscriminately on protesters immediately after army personnel, who were separating the police from the protesters, vacated the area.
For more than 30 minutes the police shot at fleeing protesters as they tried to escape down alleyways and on the highway, before the police officers sought shelter in a nearby army camp. At least six police officers were also killed as protesters retaliated hours later, setting fire to the Jatrabari police station.
A spokesperson for the Bangladesh Police told the BBC that 60 police officers had been arrested for their role in the violence in July and August last year.
"There were regrettable incidents in which certain members of the then police force engaged in excessive use of force," said the spokesperson. "Bangladesh Police has launched thorough and impartial investigations."
Sheikh Hasina's trial began last month. She has been charged with committing crimes against humanity, including issuing orders that led to mass killings and targeted violence against civilians, as well as incitement, conspiracy and failure to prevent mass murder.
India has so far failed to comply with a Bangladeshi request for her extradition. It is unlikely that Hasina will return to the country for the trial, Mr Cadman said.
The Awami League maintains that its leaders are not liable for the force used against protesters.
"The Awami League categorically denies and rejects claims that some of its senior leaders, including the prime minister herself, were personally responsible for or directed the use of lethal force against crowds," a spokesperson for the party said.
"The decisions made by senior government officials were proportionate in nature, made in good faith and intended to minimise the loss of life."
The party has rejected the findings of United Nations investigators, who said they had found reasonable grounds to believe the actions of Hasina and her government could amount to crimes against humanity.
The BBC approached the Bangladesh army for comment but did not receive a response.
Since Hasina's fall, Bangladesh has been ruled by an interim government led by Nobel Prize winner Muhammad Yunus.
His government is preparing for national elections. It's unclear if the Awami League will be allowed to contest the vote.
At least 161 people are still missing in a single Texas county four days after deadly and devastating flash floods hit parts of the state last week, Governor Greg Abbott said, as hope fades for survivors to be found alive.
The missing in the hard-hit Kerr County include five campers and one counsellor from Camp Mystic, a Christian all-girls summer camp located on the banks of Guadalupe river.
At least 109 people have died in the disaster, including 94 in the Kerrville area alone, Abbott said in a news conference on Tuesday.
Texas is not alone. New Mexico saw a flash flood emergency as well, with the National Weather Service (NWS) warning of intense flooding on Tuesday night.
In Texas, frantic search and rescue efforts continue, with Abbott vowing emergency crews "will not stop until every missing person is accounted for".
Abbott added that it is very likely more missing will be added to the list in the coming days, and urged people to report anyone they think is unaccounted for.
General Thomas Suelzer from the Texas National Guard said search efforts include Chinook and Black Hawk helicopters with rescue hoists.
He said there are 13 Black Hawk helicopters helping in the search effort, including four that arrived from Arkansas. He added that authorities were also using reaper drones.
Responders from various agencies are working together on rescue efforts, including agents from border patrol, the FBI and the National Guard.
More than 250 responders from various agencies have been assigned to the Kerrville area alone to help with search and rescue.
One of those rescue volunteers, named Tim, told the BBC he has never seen any destruction at this scale before.
"I've done the floods down in East Texas and Southeast Texas, and hurricanes, and this is a nightmare," he said.
Another rescue volunteer, named Justin, compared the effort to "trying to find a single hay in a haystack".
"There's a wide trail of destruction for miles, and there's not enough cadaver dogs to go through all of it," he told the BBC.
"It's hard to access a lot of it with heavy machinery. Guys are trying to pick at it with tools and hands, and they're not even putting a dent in it – not for lack of effort."
Questions have been raised about whether authorities provided adequate flood warnings before the disaster, and why people were not evacuated earlier.
Experts say there were a number of factors that contributed to the tragedy in Texas, including the extreme weather, the location of the holiday homes and timing.
The governor, who had spent part of the day surveying the flood zone, said authorities had issued a storm warning and knew about a possible flash flood, but "didn't know the magnitude of the storm".
No one knew it would lead to a "30-foot high tsunami wall of water", he said.
The governor responded to a question about who was to "blame" for the enormous death toll, saying: "That's the word choice of losers."
He made a sports analogy, saying American football teams make mistakes; champion teams are the ones who don't "point fingers".
Most of the victims died in Kerr County, where the Guadalupe River was swollen by torrential downpours before daybreak on Friday, the July Fourth public holiday.
Camp Mystic had earlier confirmed at least 27 girls and staff were among the dead.
Those who survived are now focused on trying to rebuild.
Justin Brown has lived along the Guadalupe River for more than 25 years.
A week ago, he lived in his mobile home at the Blue Oak RV Park with his two young daughters and dog. Now, there is a huge puddle where his home once stood – his RV swept away in the floods.
"We were one of the few parks that got almost everybody out," Mr Brown told the BBC as he described the efforts of his landlord and emergency workers, who evacuated almost all of the park's residents.
Looking out over the empty lot where his home once stood – now just debris – he said he hopes to move back in as soon as he can.
President Donald Trump will travel to the flood-ravaged areas with First Lady Melania Trump on Friday.
Separately, in New Mexico, the NWS declared a flash flood emergency on Tuesday and told residents of Ruidoso to be on high alert for flooding.
Officials there are already working to rescue people trapped in floodwaters and houses are reportedly being washed away.
A flood wave on the Rio Ruidoso has reached 15 feet (4.5m), the NWS in Albuquerque said in a post on X.
The waters receded about two hours later, according to CBS, the BBC's US partner.
Officials had to perform some swift boat rescues and some people were unaccounted for as of Tuesday evening.
Donald Trump's White House had grandly promised "90 deals in 90 days" after partially pausing the process of levying what the US president called "reciprocal" tariffs.
In reality, there won't even be nine deals done by the time we reach Trump's first cut-off date on 9 July.
The revealing thing here, the poker "tell" if you like, is the extension of the deadline from Wednesday until 1 August, with a possibility of further extensions - or delays - to come.
From the US perspective, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says all focus has been on the 18 countries that are responsible for 95% of America's trade deficit.
The jaunty letters being sent from the US to its trading partners this week are simply a reincarnation of that infamous White House "Liberation Day" blue board.
The rates are basically the same as were first revealed on 2 April. The infamous equation, which turned out to use a measure of the size of the deficit as a proxy for "the sum of all trade cheating" lives on, in a form.
This is all being announced without the market turmoil seen earlier this year because of this additional delay.
Financial markets believe in rolling delays, in the idea of TACO, that Trump Always Chickens Out - although they may embolden foot-dragging on all sides that lead to a renewed crisis.
However, the real takeaway here has been the Trump administration's inability to strike deals. The letters are an admission of failure.
The White House may be playing hardball, but so are most other nations.
Japan and South Korea were singled out for the first two letters, which effectively further blow up their trade deals with the US.
The Japanese have done little to hide their fury at the US approach.
Its finance minister even hinted at using its ownership of the world's biggest stockpile of US government debt - basically the biggest banker of America's debts - as a source of potential leverage.
The dynamic from April has not really changed.
The rest of the world sees that markets punish the US when a trade war looks real, when American retailers warn the White House of higher prices and empty shelves.
And there is still a plausible court case working its way through the system that could render the tariffs illegal.
But the world is now also starting to see the numerical impact of an upended global trade system.
The value of the dollar has declined 10% this year against a number of currencies.
At Bessent's confirmation hearing, he said that the likely increase in the value of the dollar would help mitigate any inflationary impact of tariffs.
The opposite has happened.
Trade numbers are starting to shift too. There was massive stockpiling before tariffs, there have been more recent significant falls.
Meanwhile, Chinese exports to the US have fallen by 9.7% so far this year.
But China's shipments to the rest of the world are up 6%. This includes a 7.4% rise in exports to the UK, a 12.2% increase to the 10 members of the ASEAN alliance and 18.9% rise to Africa.
The numbers are volatile, but consistent with what might be predicted.
Revenues from tariffs are starting to pour into the US Treasury coffers, with record receipts in May.
As the US builds a tariff wall around itself, the rest of the world is likely to trade more with each other - just look the recent economic deals between the UK and India, and the EU and Canada.
It is worth nothing that the effective tariff rate being imposed by the US on the rest of the world is now about 15%, having been between 2% and 4% for the past 40 years. This is before the further changes in these letters.
The market reaction is calm for now. It might not stay that way.
It was a dramatic start to the week in Russia.
On Monday morning, President Vladimir Putin sacked his transport minister, Roman Starovoit.
By the afternoon Starovoit was dead; his body was discovered in a park on the edge of Moscow with a gunshot wound to the head. A pistol, allegedly, beside the body.
Investigators said they presumed the former minister had taken his own life.
In the tabloid Moskovsky Komsomolets this morning there was a sense of shock.
"The suicide of Roman Starovoit just hours after the president's order to sack him is an almost unique occurrence in Russian history," the paper declared.
That's because you need to go back more than thirty years, to before the fall of the Soviet Union, for an example of a government minister here killing themselves.
In August 1991, following the failure of the coup by communist hardliners, one of the coup's ring leaders - Soviet interior minister Boris Pugo - shot himself.
The Kremlin has said little about Starovoit's death.
"How shocked were you that a federal minister was found dead just hours after being fired by the president?" I asked Vladimir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov on a Kremlin conference call.
"Normal people cannot but be shocked by this," replied Peskov. "Of course, this shocked us, too.
"It's up to the investigation to provide answers to all the questions. While it's ongoing, one can only speculate. But that's more for the media and political pundits. Not for us."
The Russian press has, indeed, been full of speculation.
Today several Russian newspapers linked what happened to Roman Starovoit to events in the Kursk region that borders Ukraine. Before his appointment as transport minister in May 2024, Starovoit had been the Kursk regional governor for more than five years.
Under his leadership - and with large sums of government money - Governor Starovoit had launched the construction of defensive fortifications along the border. These were not strong enough to prevent Ukrainian troops from breaking through and seizing territory in Kursk region last year.
Since then, Starovoit's successor as governor, Alexei Smirnov, and his former deputy Alexei Dedov have been arrested and charged with large-scale fraud in relation to the construction of the fortifications.
"Mr Starovoit may well have become one of the chief defendants in this case," suggested today's edition of the business daily Kommersant.
The Russian authorities have not confirmed that.
But if it was fear of prosecution that drove a former minister to take his own life, what does that tell us about today's Russia?
"The most dramatic part of this, with all the re-Stalinisation that has been happening in Russia in recent years, is that a high-level government official [kills himself] because he has no other way of getting out of the system," says Nina Khrushcheva, professor of International Affairs at The New School in New York.
"He must have feared that he would receive tens of years in prison if he was going to be under investigation, and that his family would suffer tremendously. So, there's no way out. I Immediately thought of Sergo Ordzhonikidze, one of Stalin's ministers, who [killed himself] in 1937 because he felt there was no way out. When you start thinking of 1937 in today's environment that gives you great pause."
Roman Starovoit's death may have made headlines in the papers here. But this "almost unique occurrence in Russian history" has received minimal coverage on state TV.
Perhaps that's because the Kremlin recognises the power of television to shape public opinion. In Russia, TV is more influential than newspapers. So, when it comes to television, the authorities tend to be more careful and cautious with the messaging.
Monday's main evening news bulletin on Russia-1 included a four-minute report about Putin appointing a new acting transport minister, Andrei Nikitin.
There was no mention at all that the previous transport minister had been sacked. Or that he'd been found dead.
Only forty minutes later, towards the end of the news bulletin, did the anchorman briefly mention the death of Roman Starovoit.
The newsreader devoted all of 18 seconds to it, which means that most Russians will probably not view Monday's dramatic events as a significant development.
For the political elite, it's a different story. For ministers, governors, and other Russian officials who've sought to be a part of the political system, what happened to Starovoit will serve as a warning.
"Unlike before, when you could get these jobs, get rich, get promoted from regional level to federal level, today, that is clearly not a career path if you want to stay alive," says Nina Khrushcheva.
"There's not only no upward mobility to start with, but even downward mobility ends with death."
It's a reminder of the dangers that emanate from falling foul of the system.
Instagram users have told the BBC of the "extreme stress" of having their accounts banned after being wrongly accused by the platform of breaching its rules on child sexual exploitation.
The BBC has been in touch with three people who were told by parent company Meta that their accounts were being permanently disabled, only to have them reinstated shortly after their cases were highlighted to journalists.
"I've lost endless hours of sleep, felt isolated. It's been horrible, not to mention having an accusation like that over my head," one of the men told BBC News.
Meta declined to comment.
BBC News has been contacted by more than 100 people who claim to have been wrongly banned by Meta.
Some talk of a loss of earnings after being locked out of their business pages, while others highlight the pain of no longer having access to years of pictures and memories. Many point to the impact it has had on their mental health.
Over 27,000 people have signed a petition that accuses Meta's moderation system, powered by artificial intelligence (AI), of falsely banning accounts and then having an appeal process that is unfit for purpose.
Thousands of people are also in Reddit forums dedicated to the subject, and many users have posted on social media about being banned.
Meta has previously acknowledged a problem with Facebook Groups but denied its platforms were more widely affected.
The BBC has changed the names of the people in this piece to protect their identities.
David, from Aberdeen in Scotland, was suspended from Instagram on 4 June. He was told he had not followed Meta's community standards on child sexual exploitation, abuse and nudity.
He appealed that day, and was then permanently disabled on Instagram and his associated Facebook and Facebook Messenger accounts.
David found a Reddit thread, where many others were posting that they had also been wrongly banned over child sexual exploitation.
"We have lost years of memories, in my case over 10 years of messages, photos and posts - due to a completely outrageous and vile accusation," he told BBC News.
He said Meta was "an embarrassment", with AI-generated replies and templated responses to his questions. He still has no idea why his account was banned.
"I've lost endless hours of sleep, extreme stress, felt isolated. It's been horrible, not to mention having an accusation like that over my head.
"Although you can speak to people on Reddit, it is hard to go and speak to a family member or a colleague. They probably don't know the context that there is a ban wave going on."
The BBC raised David's case to Meta on 3 July, as one of a number of people who claimed to have been wrongly banned over child sexual exploitation. Within hours, his account was reinstated.
In a message sent to David, and seen by the BBC, the tech giant said: "We're sorry that we've got this wrong, and that you weren't able to use Instagram for a while. Sometimes, we need to take action to help keep our community safe."
"It is a massive weight off my shoulders," said David.
Faisal was banned from Instagram on 6 June over alleged child sexual exploitation and, like David, found his Facebook account suspended too.
The student from London is embarking on a career in the creative arts, and was starting to earn money via commissions on his Instagram page when it was suspended. He appealed after feeling he had done nothing wrong, and then his account was then banned a few minutes later.
He told BBC News: "I don't know what to do and I'm really upset.
"[Meta] falsely accuse me of a crime that I have never done, which also damages my mental state and health and it has put me into pure isolation throughout the past month."
His case was also raised with Meta by the BBC on 3 July. About five hours later, his accounts were reinstated. He received the exact same email as David, with the apology from Meta.
He told BBC News he was "quite relieved" after hearing the news. "I am trying to limit my time on Instagram now."
Faisal said he remained upset over the incident, and is now worried the account ban might come up if any background checks are made on him.
A third user Salim told BBC News that he also had accounts falsely banned for child sexual exploitation violations.
He highlighted his case to journalists, stating that appeals are "largely ignored", business accounts were being affected, and AI was "labelling ordinary people as criminal abusers".
Almost a week after he was banned, his Instagram and Facebook accounts were reinstated.
When asked by BBC News, Meta declined to comment on the cases of David, Faisal, and Salim, and did not answer questions about whether it had a problem with wrongly accusing users of child abuse offences.
It seems in one part of the world, however, it has acknowledged there is a wider issue.
The BBC has learned that the chair of the Science, ICT, Broadcasting, and Communications Committee at the National Assembly in South Korea, said last month that Meta had acknowledged the possibility of wrongful suspensions for people in her country.
Dr Carolina Are, a blogger and researcher at Northumbria University into social media moderation, said it was hard to know what the root of the problem was because Meta was not being open about it.
However, she suggested it could be due to recent changes to the wording of some its community guidelines and an ongoing lack of a workable appeal process.
"Meta often don't explain what it is that triggered the deletion. We are not privy to what went wrong with the algorithm," she told BBC News.
In a previous statement, Meta said: "We take action on accounts that violate our policies, and people can appeal if they think we've made a mistake."
Meta, in common with all big technology firms, have come under increased pressure in recent years from regulators and authorities to make their platforms safe spaces.
Meta told the BBC it used a combination of people and technology to find and remove accounts that broke its rules, and was not aware of a spike in erroneous account suspension.
Meta says its child sexual exploitation policy relates to children and "non-real depictions with a human likeness", such as art, content generated by AI or fictional characters.
Meta also told the BBC a few weeks ago it uses technology to identify potentially suspicious behaviours, such as adult accounts being reported by teen accounts, or adults repeatedly searching for "harmful" terms.
Meta states that when it becomes aware of "apparent child exploitation", it reports it to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) in the US. NCMEC told BBC News it makes all of those reports available to law enforcement around the world.

US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met on Tuesday evening for the second time in as many days to discuss the ongoing war in Gaza.
The meeting came after Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff suggested Israel and Hamas had one remaining issue to agree on for a 60-day ceasefire deal.
Netanyahu arrived at the White House shortly after 17:00 EST (21:00 GMT) on Tuesday for the meeting, which was not open to members of the press.
Earlier on Tuesday, Netanyahu met with vice-president JD Vance. He also met with Trump for several hours during a dinner at the White House on Monday.
It marks Netanyahu's third state visit to the US since Trump's second term.
The meeting of the two leaders lasted around two hours.
Netanyahu also met with the Republican House of Representative Speaker Mike Johnson.
After that meeting, the Israeli Prime Minister said he did not believe Israel's military campaign in Gaza was done, but that negotiators are "certainly working" on a ceasefire.
"We still have to finish the job in Gaza, release all our hostages, eliminate and destroy Hamas' military and government capabilities," Netanyahu said.
Witkoff later said that Israel and Hamas were closing the gap on issues that previously prevented them from reaching a deal, and that he hoped a temporary, 60-day ceasefire will be agreed on this week.
"We had four issues and now we're down to one", Witkoff said of the sticking points in negotiations.
He added that the draft deal would also include the release of 10 hostages who are alive, and the bodies of nine who are deceased.
Before the Israeli Prime Minister's meeting with Trump on Monday, a Qatari delegation arrived at the White House and spoke with officials for several hours, Axios reported, citing a source with knowledge of the talks.
Trump told reporters on Monday evening that ceasefire talks are "going very well". But Qatar, which has played a mediator role in negotiations, said on Tuesday morning that more time was needed for negotiations.
"I don't think that I can give any timeline at the moment, but I can say right now that we will need time for this," Qatar's foreign ministry spokesman Majed Al-Ansari said.
Before discussions resumed on Tuesday, a Palestinian source familiar with the talks told the BBC they have not made any headway.
The latest round of negotiations between Hamas and Israel began on Sunday.
The ongoing Gaza war began on 7 October 2023 when Hamas attacked Israel, killing 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages, according to Israeli figures. Israel's retaliatory offensive has killed at least 57,500 in Gaza according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry.
A week after three Indians were kidnapped in Mali, their families say they still have no information about their whereabouts and are concerned about their safety.
India's foreign ministry said the men, who worked in a cement factory in Mali, were "forcibly taken" by a group of "armed assailants" last Tuesday.
The Mali government is yet to comment, but the abductions took place on a day an al-Qaeda linked group - Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal Muslimin (JNIM) - claimed it had carried out several attacks in the African country.
According to government data, some 400 Indians live in Mali, a country that India has had trade relations with since the 1990s.
Last week's incident comes after five Indian citizens were kidnapped in Niger, in April during an attack by armed men who also killed a dozen soldiers, Reuters news agency reported. There's no update on their whereabouts.
Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso are fighting an insurgency linked to al-Qaeda and the Islamic State (IS) that began in northern Mali in 2012 and has since spread to neighbouring countries.
Mali is the eighth-largest nation in the African continent and falls in the Sahel region of Africa, which the Global Terrorism Index (GTI) described as the "epicentre of global terrorism" earlier this year. The region accounts for "over half of all terrorism-related deaths", according to GTI.
In a statement a day after the abductions, India's foreign ministry urged citizens living in Mali to "exercise utmost caution, remain vigilant and stay in close contact with the Indian embassy in [Mali's capital] Bamako".
The men were taken from the Diamond Cement Factory, operated by Indian-business conglomerate Prasaditya Group, in Kayes city. The firm and factory have not issued any statements so far. The BBC has reached out to them for a response.
The same day the men were abducted, Jihadist fighters had launched a series of simultaneous attacks on military posts across numerous towns in Mali.
A resident of Kayes, where the cement factory was located, told the BBC that gunshots could be heard "everywhere" during the attack.
The abductions have sparked a wave of panic among the Indian relatives of those living in Africa.
The Indian government said it was in touch with the authorities in Mali, the factory where the men worked, and the relatives of the kidnapped men - but BBC Telugu has spoken to family members of two of the men who said they had little information about their relatives.
The mother of Panad Venkatramana, one of the abducted men who worked as an engineer at the factory, said she last spoke to her son on 30 June.
"He said he was going to work and would call later," Narsamma, who goes by only one name, said.
"Three days later, we received a call from the company, but we couldn't understand what the caller was saying. Later, we saw on television that my son had been kidnapped," she added.
Venkatramana is from the eastern state of Odisha and his family have lodged a complaint with the local police, seeking their help to find him.
They have found support from former Odisha chief minister Naveen Patnaik who posted on X, urging Foreign Minister S Jaishankar to "personally intervene in the matter" and ensure "early and safe release" of Venkatramana.
In the southern states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, the family members of another of the abducted men - Amaralingaeswara Rao who worked as an assistant general manager at the factory - are waiting anxiously for him to return home.
His father Koorakula Venkateswarlu told BBC Telugu that his son went to Mali eight years ago to support his family.
"The salary [in India] was low. He has three children to raise," Mr Venkateswarlu said.
His son was planning to visit India in October and had booked flight tickets. But now, he says, they have no idea when they will see him.

South Korea has repatriated six North Koreans who accidentally drifted into South Korean waters earlier this year. All six had consistently expressed their desire to go back, Seoul's Ministry of Unification said.
Two of the North Koreans had veered into southern waters in March and stayed on for four months - the longest period recorded for non-defectors.
The other four are sailors who drifted across a disputed maritime border between the North and the South in May.
This is the first such return under the presidency of South Korea's Lee Jae-myung, who had campaigned on improving inter-Korea ties. The two countries unsuccessfully tried to coordinate the return for months.
There have been several previous cases of North Koreans sailing unintentionally into the South. They often use small, wooden boats that cannot be easily steered back onto their course once adrift.
In the past, authorities in the two countries would coordinate to send those who wished to return to the North back via their land border.
However, Pyongyang had cut off all inter-Korea communication lines in April 2023 amid heightened tensions.
Eight months later, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un declared that unification with the South is no longer possible.
The only known channels of communication that remain are the US-led United Nations Command and through the news media.
Seoul's Ministry of Unification said it had tried to twice to inform the North of its intention to send these six people home via the United Nations Command, but did not receive a response.
North Korean patrol vessels and fishing boats were spotted at the handover point on Wednesday morning, leading some observers to believe the two Koreas would have agreed on a repatriation plan "behind the scenes".
"If you set a boat adrift in the vast ocean without any coordination, there's a real risk it could drift away again," says Nam Sung-wook, the former head of the Korea National Strategy Institute think tank.
Nam believes the six people will be interrogated at length when they return to the North.
"They'll be grilled on whether they received any espionage training or overheard anything sensitive. [It will be] an intense process aimed at extracting every last piece of information," he tells BBC Korean.
Once the investigation is over, they may be asked to help spread propaganda. Their desire to return to the North "strengthens the legitimacy of [Kim's] regime", adds Lim Eul-chul, a professor specialising in North Korean studies in Kyungnam University.
Michael Madden, a North Korea expert from the Stimson Center in Washington, pointed out that the boats drifted south when South Korea was being led by interim presidents following former President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment.
"This may have delayed some decision making in both Koreas.
"Pyongyang certainly did not trust the Yoon remnants in South Korea, and both Koreas could have been open to accusations of an unlawful repatriation out of political expedience by the international community," he said.
Wednesday's repatriations have left some North Korean defectors baffled.
Activist Lee Min-bok says the six people "should have been given a chance to talk to defectors and learn more about South Korean society".
"If I'd had the chance to speak with them, I would have told them the truth [about inter-Korean history] and warned them that they could eventually face punishment from the North Korean regime, simply because they had already experienced life in the South," says Mr Lee, who used to float balloons with anti-Kim leaflets into the North.
However, his team of activists have largely stopped their activities as they expect crackdowns from South Korea's new, pro-engagement administration.
Seoul's National Assembly is currently debating a bill to ban such balloon launches.
Lee Jae-myung, who was elected South Korea's president in June, has pledged to restart dialogue with Pyongyang and to reduce tensions between the two countries.
A week after he took office, South Korea's military suspended its loudspeaker propaganda broadcasts across the border to North Korea - in what it described as a move to "restore trust in inter-Korean relations and achieve peace on the Korean Peninsula".
Some analysts, however, do not expect a major improvement of ties between the Koreas.
North Korea has "built up solid cooperation" with Russia, and now has "little need" to engage the South, says Celeste Arrington, director of The George Washington University Institute for Korean Studies.
Public opinion in the South also suggests little appetite for engaging with the North, she says.
"Thus, there are few signals, if any, of reestablishing lines of communication between the North and the South, let alone meaningful warming of relations."
One of Australia's largest private childcare operators will speed up the rollout of CCTV across more than 400 centres, days after child sex abuse allegations against an employee emerged.
G8 Education will also let parents and carers choose who can change their children's nappies and take them to the toilet, the firm said.
Joshua Dale Brown, 26, is charged with more than 70 offences, including child rape, allegedly committed against eight children at a G8 Education-owned centre in Melbourne between 2022 and 2023.
The firm's boss said the allegations were "deeply disturbing" and apologised for the "unimaginable pain caused to our families".
The Australian-listed company operates almost two dozen childcare centre brands and employs about 10,000 staff who look after about 41,000 children.
In an announcement on Tuesday, the company's managing director Pejman Okhovat said it will also commission an independent review of the allegations against Brown once the police investigation and criminal proceedings have finished.
"Our primary focus right now is on supporting all families who are impacted, as well as our team members in Victoria," he said.
The rollout of CCTV across all of G8 Education's centres will be "accelerated" and comes after a trial at some locations, the firm said, but it did not give a timeline on the rollout.
"While installation will take time, we are committed to transparency and will keep our families and team informed with timely updates as more information becomes available," a company spokesperson said.
Asked if families and staff will have to give consent before being monitored, the company said it understands "the importance of adhering to child safety, child dignity, privacy and data protection requirements".
The company will also "commit to adherence with all relevant privacy laws and sector regulations and the adoption of best practice cyber security measures", it added.
The spokesperson did not say who will operate the CCTV systems, who will have access to the footage or how long the footage will be stored.
For child safety expert and ex-detective Kristi McVee, CCTV "will only be as good as the humans who manage it".
"It can be circumvented and evidence can be destroyed to protect the interests of the organisation," she told the BBC.
In the case of Ashley Paul Griffiths - currently serving a life sentence for raping and sexually abusing almost 70 young girls in childcare centres in Australia and overseas - CCTV at the centres where he worked did not act as a deterrent, McVee said.
Professor Daryl Higgins, who heads Australian Catholic University's Institute of Child Protection Studies, echoed those concerns.
"It's not a silver bullet," Professor Higgins said, "and would require significant consultation about if, where, how and why we'd implement it".
"Who would view the footage and how would it be used?" he asked.
Martyn Mills-Bayne, a senior lecturer in early childhood education at the University of South Australia, worries CCTV will provide a "false sense of security" and allow operators to delay better measures such as increasing staff ratios.
He also said that giving parents and carers the option to chose who changes nappies and takes children to the toilets may put extra pressure on female workers and could lead to gender discrimination in hiring processes.
Investigations into Brown's alleged offences found he had worked at 20 childcare centres - including centres not operated by G8 Education - between 2017 and his arrest in May this year.
This prompted health authorities to ask the families of about 1,200 children who had been under Brown's care at those centres to undergo testing for infectious diseases.
The tests were a "precaution", authorities said. The allegations against Brown also prompted state and federal governments to promise more stringent staff checks and regulations in the childcare sector.
Brown is accused of child rape and sexual assault offences as well as producing and transmitting child abuse material, relating to children between the ages of five months and two years old.
He is yet to enter a plea, but has been remanded in custody and is due to appear at Melbourne Magistrates' Court in September.
One day in 2010, Sean "Diddy" Combs was in the kitchen of his Beverly Hills estate with his assistant Capricorn Clark. "Let me show you something," he said, summoning his girlfriend, Casandra Ventura, into the room.
Turning to her, he issued a string of commands: "Sit down, stand up, turn around, walk over there, hand me that. Now go back." His girlfriend obeyed his every word.
"Did you see that?" said Combs to his assistant. "You won't do that. That's why you don't have a man like me."
This account, shared by Ms Clark (also known as Cassie) in her testimony during Combs' recent eight-week trial, gave a glimpse into his dynamic with his partner - and a sense of what was happening behind closed doors.
Ms Ventura, an R&B singer who was previously signed to his record label, testified that throughout their long-term relationship, Combs – who was 17 years her senior – beat her, blackmailed her and coerced her into drug-fuelled sex sessions with escorts. He had, she continued, controlled her life.
Central to the trial was the claim that Combs, 55, a multimillionaire music mogul once credited with bringing rap into the mainstream, forced his partners to engage in elaborate sexual performances, known as "freak-offs", that he directed, often filmed and arranged with the help of his staff.
Last week, he was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was acquitted on the more serious charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking.
After the verdict was announced, Ms Ventura's lawyer, Doug Wigdor, said that by coming forward, she had "brought attention to the realities of powerful men in our orbit and the misconduct that has persisted for decades without repercussion".
But now, campaigners, survivors of sexual violence and insiders within the music industry are asking: Why did it take so long to hold Combs accountable?
And, in light of Hollywood's MeToo movement that uncovered and helped root out sexual harassment and abuse in the film industry, and which began nearly a decade ago - is it now time that the music industry, or more specifically, hip-hop, had a MeToo movement of its own?
Cristalle Bowen is a rapper from Chicago who was part of an all-female trio called RapperChicks. "The Diddy trial only highlights what many of us already know," she says, referring to the struggle to hold powerful people to account.
In 2022 she wrote a book about misogyny in the industry. The tagline is: Navigating Hip-Hop and Relationships in a Culture of Misogyny. "Being the token women on labels and in crews leaves you susceptible to, at the very least, name calling," she claims. "At the most… you've been abused in some way.
"When there is money involved, it becomes tricky. From hush money to stalled careers to the way we all see survivors treated… It's a difficult task."
Campaigners and industry insiders who spoke to the BBC say that sexual abuse and harassment exists across all genres in the music business, not only hip-hop. They point to a culture of silence, where they claim that predators are protected and victims risk being blacklisted, sued or fired.
Caroline Heldman, an academic and activist, agrees. She is co-founder of the US-based Sound Off Coalition, which advocates for the elimination of sexual violence in music, and argues that there is a history of using "threats to push out women artists who are targets of abuse by men".
"The music industry has followed a playbook for dealing with sexual abuse that shields predators, including musicians, producers, managers, executives, and other behind-the-scenes players, from liability," she claims.
Non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) – legal contracts that stop people from sharing certain agreed-upon private information – are used legitimately in the industry, for example to help protect commercial secrets. But some argue that these are being misused and can contribute to a culture of silence in cases of abuse.
"[It] makes for a very difficult decision for a lot of victims," says Arick Fudali, a New York-based lawyer. One of his clients is Dawn Richard, a singer who testified against Combs at the federal trial and has an ongoing lawsuit against him.
"I've had clients who have declined that and chosen to file their lawsuit publicly," he adds. "They can receive less money than if they had just settled privately and confidentially."
Ms Bowen argues that she has seen this happen first-hand. "Moguls write the cheques and artists need the cheques - there's usually no checks and balances when mogul money is involved."
But, there may be other reasons for not speaking out.
And in hip-hop specifically, some survivors of abuse and experts we spoke to argue that this culture of silence is exacerbated by the combined forces of racism and misogyny, and a desire to fiercely protect a genre that has created rare avenues to stardom and financial success.
Originating in the African-American and Latino communities of New York City in the 1970s, hip-hop became a mouthpiece for liberation and resistance against the authorities and social injustice.
"Hip-hop allowed young black people to tell their own stories on their own terms, it gave that generation a voice," explains Mark Anthony Neal, professor of African-American studies at Duke University, particularly when popular culture was offering a limited portrayal of black America.
It's now the most commercially successful music genre in the US, leading in album sales and streaming numbers. "Rappers are the new rock stars," says Thomas Hobbs, a writer and co-host of a hip-hop podcast, Exit the 36 Chambers. "They're the people now most likely to fill arenas."
As an artist and businessman who ran an empire that encompassed fashion, alcohol and TV as well as his label, Bad Boy Records, Combs - who has an estimated net worth of about $400m (£293m) - has been championed not only for helping hip-hop become commercially viable but for creating jobs and opportunities, particularly for black men.
Throughout his career he has been vocal about "black excellence" – platforming achievements – as well as highlighting struggles within the black community.
This was something his legal defence raised in court, saying: "Sean Combs has become something that is very, very hard to be. Very hard to be. He is a self-made, successful, black entrepreneur."
Outside court during his trial, fans erupted in cheers after he was acquitted of the more serious charges and onlookers debated aloud whether he had been unfairly targeted. "Of course he was. He's a powerful black man," one said.
For weeks, others had been wearing and selling "Free Puff" T-shirts, after Combs' 90s stage name, next to a speaker blaring out his music.
Sociologist Katheryn Russell-Brown has described a phenomenon she calls "black protectionism".
"Those who have managed to obtain large-scale prosperity, in spite of legal, political, economic, educational and social barriers, are given the status of racial pioneers," she wrote in her book, Protecting Our Own: Race, Crime, and African Americans, which was inspired by the OJ Simpson case.
"It is, therefore, predictable that black people as a group are suspicious when criminal charges are brought against members of its elite, protected class."
Black women in particular carry the fear that speaking out could reinforce harmful stereotypes about their community, argues Treva Lindsey, a professor in the Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Department at Ohio State University who researches misogyny in hip-hop.
"When we portray hip-hop as uniquely sexist, or sexually violent, or harmful, that has repercussions for black people of all genders," she says.
And yet across the entertainment industry more broadly, a retrospective focus is slowly happening now, in part because of shifts in attitudes.
Recent changes to law in some US states have also enabled people to take action over alleged historic misconduct.
New York and California passed laws in 2022 called the Adult Survivors Act that for one-year only allowed people to file sexual abuse claims, regardless of when the alleged incidents took place.
Ms Ventura filed a lawsuit against Combs in November 2023, accusing him of physical and sexual abuse. It was settled the following day, and Combs denied the claims.
He now faces more than 60 civil cases from men and women accusing him of drugging or assault, spanning his entire three-decade career.
In a statement, Combs' team has said: "No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it won't change the fact that Mr Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone - man or woman, adult or minor."
He is, however, one of several hip-hop titans of the 90s and 00s to have been accused in a relatively recent wave of allegations.
Music executive and producer Antonio LA Reid, who worked with artists including Usher, Kanye West (now known as Ye) and Rihanna, was accused of sexual assault in a lawsuit filed in 2023. He denies all claims against him.
Meanwhile, Russell Simmons, co-founder of hip-hop label Def Jam Recordings, has faced allegations of violent sexual behaviour by more than 20 women since 2017, all of which he has denied.
Drew Dixon, who is former vice president of Artists and Repertoire (A&R) at Arista Records, is among them. She has claimed she was abused by both Mr Simmons and Mr Reid when she worked in the music industry in the 1990s and 2000s.
She told The New York Times: "You're not just going up against the person who assaulted you," she said. "You are going against everyone who benefits from their brand and revenue stream.
"Those forces will mobilise against any accuser. It's daunting."
Sil Lai Abrams, who is a writer and gender violence activist, began working as an executive assistant at the Def Jam music label in 1992. She is one of the women who accused Mr Simmons of sexual assault. He has denied all allegations.
"It's harder for women of colour to speak out against abuse in the music industry," she argues - something that she believes still applies today. "[Women have] been conditioned to see abuse of power and sexual harassment as the price one pays to work in the industry."
Then there is the question of the response from the public if people do speak out. When Ms Ventura first filed her lawsuit against Combs, she faced widespread abuse. Memes on social media accused her of being a gold-digger. Some in the hip-hop industry criticised her too.
"Quit trying to expose people for money," US rapper Slim Thug said in a video shared with his two million followers on Instagram in 2023.
Only when CNN broadcast security camera footage dating back to 2016 which showed Combs grabbing, dragging and kicking Ms Ventura in the hallway of a hotel did the sentiment towards her change.
Slim Thug publicly apologised for his comments.
Combs responded in a video statement posted on Instagram, saying: "My behaviour on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility… I'm committed to be a better man each and every day… I'm truly sorry."
"Before the video of Combs beating her came out and people couldn't deny the evidence, people said Cassie was a liar," says Dr Nikki Lane, assistant professor in Gender, Sexuality & Feminist Studies at Duke University.
Yet Dr Lane argues that more still needs to change. "Black women's bodies are constantly traded upon within the culture of hip-hop as tropes to be ridiculed".
Dr Lane points to the example of rapper Megan Thee Stallion, who was shot in the foot in 2020.
Fellow rapper Tory Lanez is currently serving a 10-year sentence for the assault, but after the incident, the artist Drake was criticised for lyrics in his 2022 song Circo Loco - "This b- lie 'bout gettin' shots, but she still a stallion" - which seemed to refer to the incident.
There remains the question of what happens to the art – and indeed the music – when an idol is convicted of serious crimes.
R&B singer R Kelly was sentenced to 30 years in prison in 2022 for sex trafficking, racketeering and sexually abusing women and children, but years later, his music remains popular. It generated about 780 million audio streams in the US since January 2019. On Spotify, he has around 5.2 million monthly listeners.
"There are still people [who] defend R Kelly," says Mr Hobbs. "I won't be surprised if Diddy's streams, just like R Kelly's, stay high."
"There's a kind of cognitive dissonance" from fans, he argues. "These songs become so embedded in people's lives that they find it very difficult to get rid of them… [they're] part of people's DNA.
"So, I think some people are able to look the other way."
The bigger question, perhaps, is how should the industry react? After the MeToo movement began in 2017, at least 200 prominent men accused of sexual harassment lost their jobs, and changes were made to workplace policies.
However, the Combs verdict in itself is unlikely to lead to wider changes, according to Prof Lindsey. "I think what happens in this moment is Diddy, kind of like R Kelly in the R&B black music pantheon, is seen as exceptional… and not indicative of something else," she says.
"There isn't a cultural reset where we look inward and ask: 'How does this happen?'"
But that is exactly what is missing, argue some others in the industry, including Ms Abrams. "What is lacking is a political environment against which survivors can count on to change the material conditions that allowed someone like Combs to act with impunity," she says.
Following MeToo in Hollywood, certain changes were introduced, including making intimacy coordinators more of a standard practice when filming sex scenes. Some music insiders now hope that migrates over to music video sets.
The Sound Off Coalition is calling for new company rules that require people in positions of power in music to report accusations of sexual assault.
Tangible measures are what matter, argues Dr Lane. "The only way for me to believe that there's been a reckoning would be to see changes in laws, policies, and actual business practices of the industry… [Ones] that are not based on how long Diddy goes down for."
For all the latest reaction and analysis on the verdict, you can listen to the Diddy on Trial podcast available on BBC Sounds.

(德国之声中文网)关注中国时事的网络杂志《中参馆》发表文章,讨论达赖喇嘛的继任问题。乔治·华盛顿大学国际事务研究教授扎西·拉布杰(Tashi Rabgey)认为,随着达赖喇嘛公开宣布其继任安排并遭北京反驳,局势已明确:两个“第十五世达赖喇嘛”将登上国际舞台,争夺正统地位,这一僵局可能持续数十年。
她认为,北京为此已准备多年:不仅宣布转世行为需政府批准,还在西藏实施庞大的驻村干部制度——据报道已有近30万人常驻农村。更明显的迹象是,北京私下接触达赖喇嘛,探讨其回国可能性,这显示出其对时间紧迫性的焦虑。
扎西·拉布杰指出,过去几十年,西藏逐渐被排除在全球地缘政治视野之外。中共将其包装成“民族政策”与“文化多样性”议题,使其看似只是内部事务。但这场继任危机势必打破这种迷雾,让世界直面这片“隐形领土”的真实处境。
军队高官不犯错也可能遭到清洗
2025年上半年,中共海军高层人事连环震荡。6月27日,全国人大常委会取消海军参谋长李汉军中将的人大代表资格,意味其自3月被调查以来,已正式落马。而早在1月,南部战区海军司令李鹏程也已传出被带走调查。更引人注目的是,曾长期主导全军政治思想工作的中央军委政治工作部主任苗华,亦于6月官宣落马,其调查程序实际上自2024年11月起即已展开。台湾“上报”发表文章《习近平正在推进“平壤模式”军权纯化》,作者洪耀南指出,这波针对海军系统的高层整肃,呈现出三条明确的政治路径:军事指挥系统、战区作战体系与军政思想部门同时遭到清洗,形同对海军的三线“断根”。但这一切并不代表军中出现反习势力的实质反扑,反而显示出习近平正在推进一场针对忠诚的“预防性纯化”行动,其模式与朝鲜金正恩政权的军权管理逻辑愈发相似。
文章说,正如金正恩对朝鲜总参谋部与侦察总局的反复人事清洗一样,军队不需要犯错,只要“太稳”、“太久”、“太熟”就可能构成威胁。习近平不信任任何制度忠诚,他所要的是对个人忠诚且可随时调换的服从结构。
作者认为,当海军三线遭清洗、军政高层无一幸免,中共军队的未来已越来越远离专业化、制度化道路,走向纯化忠诚、破坏体系、个人化领导的权力矩阵。这不仅是一场针对海军的整肃,更是中共军队全面“平壤化”的里程碑。
军队若不再作为战争机器,而是忠诚表演场,那么未来的军事决策与指挥体系将更加高度集中,也更加脆弱。
特朗普对习近平的奉承:效仿
《纽约时报》发表文章《特朗普的美国正变得越来越像中国》,作者Jacob Dreyer指出,曾几何时,有不少美国人相信,只要将中国纳入我们建立起来的世界贸易秩序,它就不可避免地会变得更像我们,而且或许像克林顿总统曾经暗示的那样,甚至走向民主化。美国人和中国人都始料未及的是,这个进程最后变成了一个双向通道。特朗普总统的再次当选已清楚地表明,在一些重要方面,美国已开始变得有几分像中国:对民主制度的侵蚀,对边境管控的执念、对言论自由的限制,还有许多其他的例子。
文章说,虽然“让美国再次伟大”(简称MAGA)运动及其领导人对中共妖魔化,但他们的一些行为却是对中共做法的认同,表明他们其实似乎想得到类似的东西。中共和MAGA运动都推崇强烈的爱国主义,都对制造业着迷,对移民持敌视态度。它们都想要一个少数族裔被要求屈从于主体族群、传统性别角色得到强化的国家。而且所有这一切都是在一个专制的执政党领导下,这个执政党的领袖用阅兵式来展示自命不凡。效仿的确是最高形式的奉承。
作者认为,美中政治制度在本质上仍然存在根本差别。但随着特朗普政府削弱宪法赋予的基本权利、破坏司法程序、压制言论自由与抗议活动,美国国内的政治环境与中国越来越相似。

(德國之聲中文網)中國商務部週三(7月9日)發布公告,把8間台灣企業和機構列入出口管制管控名單,其中包含漢翔航空工業、經緯航太科技、仲碩科技、台灣國際造船(台船)、中信造船、龍德造船、攻衛公司,以及中山科學研究院。
公告指,中國政府是以「捍衛國家主權與領土完整、維護台海和平穩定」為由,聲稱上述實體「蓄意配合台獨分裂勢力以武謀獨」,因此依照中國的《出口管制法》和《兩用物項出口管制條例》等法律,禁止對其出口軍民兩用產品,任何出口經營者都不得違反規定。
中國國台辦以發言人陳斌華名義發聲明表態「強烈支持」此一做法,批評賴清德政府「頑固堅持台獨立場」,上述8間企業與機構「助紂為虐」,中國商務部之舉則是「對台獨分裂勢力的嚴正警告」。
台灣企業:影響不大
中國政府這一波行動主要針對台灣的國防承包商,特別是無人機和造船產業。
漢翔公司是台灣知名的航太公司,業務包含民用飛機和戰機,並擴大到無人機領域。據其官網說明,該公司有多年的「國機國造」經驗,近年配合政府政策,「促進台灣無人機產業整合與升級……,提升台灣無人機在全球供應鏈中的戰略地位」。
對於中國9日的公告,漢翔公司回應,民用飛機業務包含中國廠商,因此會受到有限的影響;但軍用業務並「不會向中國紅色供應鏈進口」。
另一間入列中國出口管制名單的企業是台船,它是台灣最大規模的造船公司。該公司亦表示,其軍用業務「屏除紅鏈」,商船供應鏈則以日韓為主,中國佔比非常小,但具體仍須視中國管制細項為何,才能明確評估影響。
部分台灣學者認為,由於台灣軍工產業大部分本就不會向中國採購,「跟中國連結非常薄弱」,因此中國的做法對台影響不大。
中央社引述淡江大學兩岸關係研究中心主任張五岳觀點指,這8家實體跟中國大陸的業務往來並不頻繁;台灣智庫諮詢委員吳瑟致亦表示,中國此舉「表面意義大於實質意義」,可能是為了回應近期賴清德的「團結十講」及涉及國安的相關發言。
漢光演習登場
中國此舉恰逢台灣舉行年度的「漢光演習」。今年的漢光實兵演習9日登場,有別於過去實兵演練通常是五天四夜,這次長達十天九夜,創下有史以來最長紀錄。中央社報導稱,演習延長是因為「敵情威脅嚴峻」。
根據台灣政府公布的資訊,今年漢光演習第一階段主軸是應對敵軍對台「灰色地帶襲擾」,包含民兵船、海警等,接下來各階段還會模擬敵軍對台軍演以及各式作戰方式。
以防空與民防為主的萬安、民安演習也自15日起登場,這次整併為「城鎮韌性演習」,並特別與民間連鎖超市全聯合作,實際演練民眾在賣場遇到防空警報時的避難情境。
台灣展開演習之際,解放軍繼續在台灣周圍行動。台灣國防部9日上午的例行公告指,過去24小時內總計偵獲中國軍機31架次,其中24架逾越台灣海峽中線。

2025年,中国创新药对外授权(License-out)交易持续升温。
License-out,指创新药企将自主研发的药物、技术或专利授权给其他公司,通常是跨国药企(MNC),由对方负责后续的开发、生产、上市和销售。授权方通过收取首付款、里程碑付款和销售分成获得收益。这是创新药商务拓展(BD)中的一种常见交易方式。
据生物科技信息平台“药时代”不完全统计,2025年上半年,中国创新药领域的BD出海交易已超过50起,其中披露的合作总金额合计高达484.48亿美元,延续了2024年的出海热度。2024年,中国药企全年BD交易出海总额为519亿美元,已创历史新高。
过亿美元大单不断涌现。2025年5月,三生制药(01530.HK)和跨国医药巨头辉瑞(PFE.NYSE)达成一项授权合作,潜在交易总额超60亿美元,其中首付款12.5亿美元,刷新中国创新药License-out交易纪录。
资本市场反应剧烈。截至2025年7月8日,恒生创新药指数年内上涨超65%,恒生生物科技指数亦上涨近60%,大幅跑赢同期恒指科技板块约17%的涨幅,并带动多只A股创新药ETF同步反弹。
2025年,恰逢中国创新药迈入第十个年头。自2015年中国药品审评审批制度改革启动以来,行业逐渐摆脱对仿制药的依赖,经历了快速跟随(Fast-follow)向同类最优(Best-in-Class,BIC)、同类首创(First-in-Class,FIC)的持续演进。
这一过程是如何发生的?
“这波BD,是全球市场特殊时期产生的特殊结果。”曾在重庆华邦制药(002004.SZ)担任知识产权负责人、副总经理的孟八一向南方周末记者总结。
此轮浪潮之前,作为卖方的中国创新药企正面临融资寒冬,资本市场的低迷已持续三年之久。在同写意新药英才俱乐部创始理事长朱迅看来,这是促使企业选择出售授权、寻求出海合作的直接原因。朱迅历任新药领域监管层专家、药企高管、一级市场投资人等。
时钟倒回2019年前后,创新药当属港股和科创板追捧的明星板块,朱迅则是业内最早提醒泡沫风险的人,也因此曾被称作“砸场子的人”。
他向南方周末记者回忆,自2021年起,创新药板块一级市场融资遇冷,二级市场估值大幅跳水,港股18A创新药企市值打折,上市破发频现。2023年,科创板第五套上市标准一度叫停,创新药行业的资金困境进一步加剧。
港股18A指的是《香港联合交易所有限公司证券上市规则》第18A章,联交所于2018年4月修订新增。次年7月,科创板开板,第五套上市标准开始使用。两套制度均为未盈利但有核心技术的创新药企业打开了融资通道。
据头豹研究院,截至2024年一季度末,港股18A企业仅有4家股价处于发行价之上,在破发的60家企业中,平均破发程度为71%,其中13家破发程度超90%。
而创新药行业恰恰是一个投入周期长、资金消耗量巨大的行业。
朱迅直言,创新药企业也逐渐开始意识到,受限于中国医保支付的特殊性,单靠本土市场,难以支撑长期盈利。于是,License-out成为越来越多企业缓解现金流、延长生存时间的现实选择。
在交易对面,跨国药企同样难言轻松,正面临双重压力。
孟八一解释,美国2022年通过的《通胀降低法案》(IRA)规定,自2026年起,美国医保Medicare将对部分重磅药品实行强制降价,直接威胁到大药企的长期盈利。
与此同时,全球专利悬崖步步紧逼。到2030年全球将有数十款重磅炸弹药(Blockbuster,年销售额过10亿美元)专利到期,累计影响市场规模超过2000亿美元。这批药物

全球化浪潮下,越来越多的中国学生选择走出国门,踏上留学之路。有人怀揣“海外镀金”的初衷,期待学成归国;有人将留学视为跳板,决心在异国他乡扎根,寻觅职业与生活的新可能。
在英美等传统留学大国之外,西班牙、新西兰、泰国等新兴目的地,尽管在全球高校排名中并不突出,却因独特的职场文化、签证政策和就业环境,吸引着越来越多的年轻人,他们渴望实现从“留学生”到“新移民”的身份转变,也在寻求工作与生活的平衡。
然而,想要在异国找到适配的坐标,并非易事。
国际学生的海外就业之路,实则是个人综合能力、专业选择、政策导向与市场机遇相互作用的多维博弈。语言能力能否突破沟通壁垒,专业选择是否契合当地需求,都是必须直面的现实问题。
2025年6月24日圣胡安仲夏节,是西班牙传统假日。因恰逢周二,蒋冉就职的西班牙制造业龙头企业按惯例将周一连在一起,加上两天周末,凑成一个四天的小长假。
“‘桥假’是西班牙惯常的放假方法,只要不是如餐馆、超市等对外持续营业的行业,一般都会拼凑起来放假。”蒋冉告诉南方周末记者。
2014年初到西班牙留学时,蒋冉并没有想过留下来。彼时,西班牙正深陷全球经济危机带来的生意萧条和失业率攀升之中。
“当时基本上是西班牙失业率最高的时候,差不多一半年轻人找不到工作,巴塞罗那街头游行不断,读书热情低迷。在很多人看来,读博不如去酒吧端盘子,班上很多人读到大一大二就退学了。”
促使她踏上西班牙留学之路的,是现实的成本考量。蒋冉原本就读于中国澳门某大学西班牙语专业。大一时,她到巴塞罗那自治大学做交换生。蒋冉发现,巴塞罗那公立大学对国际学生与本地生收费一致。她算了一笔账,加上学费和生活成本,西班牙留学一年的花费在10万元人民币左右,比中国澳门要便宜。
“与其在国内读西语,不如直接拿西语在西班牙读其他专业,相当于拿双学位。”梧桐索性退学,重新申请了巴塞罗那大学的工商管理专业。
与蒋冉不同,王真2013年去新西兰读研时,就已做好移民打算。
为吸引技术移民填补关键职位空缺,新西兰推出动态更新的“绿色名单”,为清单上的职业提供快速居留通道。王真申请的会计专业,是奥克兰大学的王牌专业,跻身全球前一百名,当时恰被列入移民“绿色名单”。
研究生毕业后,王真获得一年期开放工签,可以自由寻找工作。只要找到雇主、签订合同,便

England play Netherlands in Zurich, before Wales face France in St Gallen
When England and Wales were drawn together in Group D of Euro 2025, many fans and pundits would have circled the fixture between the home nations as a key date in the competition.
However, after both sides lost their opening games in Switzerland, there is real fear the match will be a dead rubber.
If, on Wednesday, England lose to the Netherlands and Wales are beaten by France, both will be eliminated before their final game.
They are fighting for their Euro lives - and both know improved displays are required to avoid the worst-case scenario of a double elimination after two matches.
BBC Sport takes a look at the challenges facing both sides in their second games in Switzerland.

We're our own biggest critics - Russo
England v Netherlands at Euro 2025
Venue: Stadion Letzigrund, Zurich Date: Wednesday 9 July, 17:00 BST
Coverage: Watch on BBC One, iPlayer and the BBC Sport website. Listen on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds
Defending champions England face Euro 2017 winners the Netherlands and, following their 2-1 defeat by France on Saturday, they will be knocked out if they lose and France are not beaten by Wales.
The Netherlands have won two of their last three meetings with England - but the Lionesses have never lost back-to-back matches under Sarina Wiegman.
If teams finish on the same points after three matches, it will come down to head-to-head records to decide the two qualification spots.
"Ultimately we don't like losing but when a result like that happens you have to reflect and come together as a team," said England striker Alessia Russo.
"We have bounced back before. We know we weren't up to it against France. For our own standards, we want to be better. That sets the bar for us.
"We're our own biggest critics as players so we're all ready to get out there and have another good game."
Manager Wiegman, who won Euro 2017 as Netherlands boss, said England have "not talked about consequences" but admitted it was a must-win game.
"We lost [against France] and we play against a very good opponent again, but we're really good too," she told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"It's a final for us, we will do everything to win. Every game is must-win. We've experienced that before."
Wiegman was captain under Netherlands boss Andries Jonker for the national team and they have been friends for almost 30 years.
Asked how Wiegman will handle the pressure, Jonker said: "She is very experienced and she knows you cannot always win.
"She will not panic and her experience will help her. It is not a problem for her - but more for everyone around her.
"If you win, there is a party. If you don't win, then you have a problem. In football you have to play against each other and you want to win.
"It wouldn't make me more happy to win than against anyone else in football, if anything, I [would be] disappointed for Sarina. But I want to win."
Rhian Wilkinson has guided Wales to their first ever major tournament
France v Wales at Euro 2025
Venue: Arena St Gallen, St Gallen Date: Wednesday 9 July, 20:00 BST
Coverage: Listen on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds and follow text updates on BBC Sport website
Manager Rhian Wilkinson has urged her side to "show Wales how proud we are to represent our country" when they face France.
Wales' 3-0 defeat by Netherlands means they must earn at least a point in St Gallen against a team they have never beaten before to avoid elimination from their first major tournament.
Having had less than ideal preparation for the daunting contest with France after their team bus was involved in a crash that saw their training session at Arena St Gallen cancelled, Wilkinson says her squad will focus on football with everyone on the bus thankfully uninjured.
"I think football is secondary and I think, yes, we are shaken," she told BBC Sport Wales. "We've practised for the unexpected, I think that's what we can call this.
"This is a fantastic opportunity, this is another good team, we've talked about that enough that these are three strong teams in our group, it's another opportunity for us to show up and to play to the best of our ability.
"Everyone's aware of what it means if we don't get a point, but equally it's about delivering as strong a performance as we possibly can to have another opportunity to show Wales how proud we are to represent our country."
Captain Angharad James feels confident that Wales, who are yet to win a match in all competitions in 2025, can produce an improved performance now that the emotional burden of playing an historic first major tournament match is behind them.
"Emotions were obviously high in the first game. We'd waited a very long time for that moment," she said.
"To run out of the tunnel and experience that was maybe an experience that a lot of us hadn't experienced before. Now we know what to expect, now we know what's in front of us."
Wales' aim of causing a massive shock against France has been boosted by the news that all 23 players are fit and available for selection after midfielder Ceri Holland reported for training after leaving the Netherlands match with cramp.
US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met on Tuesday evening for the second time in as many days to discuss the ongoing war in Gaza.
The meeting came after Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff suggested Israel and Hamas had one remaining issue to agree on for a 60-day ceasefire deal.
Netanyahu arrived at the White House shortly after 17:00 EST (21:00 GMT) on Tuesday for the meeting, which was not open to members of the press.
Earlier on Tuesday, Netanyahu met with vice-president JD Vance. He also met with Trump for several hours during a dinner at the White House on Monday.
It marks Netanyahu's third state visit to the US since Trump's second term.
The meeting of the two leaders lasted around two hours.
Netanyahu also met with the Republican House of Representative Speaker Mike Johnson.
After that meeting, the Israeli Prime Minister said he did not believe Israel's military campaign in Gaza was done, but that negotiators are "certainly working" on a ceasefire.
"We still have to finish the job in Gaza, release all our hostages, eliminate and destroy Hamas' military and government capabilities," Netanyahu said.
Witkoff later said that Israel and Hamas were closing the gap on issues that previously prevented them from reaching a deal, and that he hoped a temporary, 60-day ceasefire will be agreed on this week.
"We had four issues and now we're down to one", Witkoff said of the sticking points in negotiations.
He added that the draft deal would also include the release of 10 hostages who are alive, and the bodies of nine who are deceased.
Before the Israeli Prime Minister's meeting with Trump on Monday, a Qatari delegation arrived at the White House and spoke with officials for several hours, Axios reported, citing a source with knowledge of the talks.
Trump told reporters on Monday evening that ceasefire talks are "going very well". But Qatar, which has played a mediator role in negotiations, said on Tuesday morning that more time was needed for negotiations.
"I don't think that I can give any timeline at the moment, but I can say right now that we will need time for this," Qatar's foreign ministry spokesman Majed Al-Ansari said.
Before discussions resumed on Tuesday, a Palestinian source familiar with the talks told the BBC they have not made any headway.
The latest round of negotiations between Hamas and Israel began on Sunday.
The ongoing Gaza war began on 7 October 2023 when Hamas attacked Israel, killing 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages, according to Israeli figures. Israel's retaliatory offensive has killed at least 57,500 in Gaza according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry.

(德國之聲中文網)斡旋俄烏停火半年多的努力未見具體成效,美國總統川普對待俄羅斯和烏克蘭的態度轉變愈趨明顯。這週以來,川普除了表示美國必須繼續軍援烏克蘭,也再一次展現出對俄國總統普丁的不滿。
週二(7月8日),川普在白宮出席內閣會議時直言:「我對普丁並不滿意,這是我現在就可以告訴你的……我們聽了一堆普丁的廢話(bulls**t)……他總是非常和善,但結果這都是沒有意義的。」
川普說:「普丁沒有善待人類,他殺太多人了。」
川普稱他考慮支持一項制裁俄羅斯的法案,由共和黨參議員格雷厄姆(Lindsey Graham)和民主黨的布盧門撒爾(Richard Blumenthal)提出,欲對購買俄羅斯石油、天然氣等產品的國家徵收500%的關稅。
先前川普雖曾威脅要擴大對俄制裁,但一直沒有付諸實踐,盼能迫使普丁和談。上週兩人再度通話,川普透露他「非常失望」,認為普丁根本無意停止戰爭。
過去川普多次聲稱自己跟普丁關係很好,並主張如果2022年是他擔任總統,俄羅斯就不會侵略烏克蘭。據美國有線電視新聞網(CNN)8日公布的錄音檔,川普去年曾在競選募款的場合上自稱對普丁這麼說過:「如果你侵略烏克蘭,我就要把莫斯科炸爛,我跟你說我別無選擇。」
批准軍援烏克蘭、與國防部不同調?
週一(7日),川普表示美國應該運送更多防禦裝備給烏克蘭,隔天稱已批准此事。他說,美國必須使烏克蘭有能力自我防衛,「他們現在遭受非常嚴重的攻擊」。
《華爾街日報》引述知情官員說法指,川普打算額外提供一套「愛國者」防空飛彈(Patriot)給烏克蘭。
烏克蘭總統澤倫斯基週二已下令烏方官員跟美方擴大往來,確保關鍵的軍事物資順利出貨:「我們現在有了一切必要的政治表態和決策,必須盡快落實。」
對於川普批准更多對烏軍援,克里姆林宮發言人佩斯科夫(Dmitry Peskov)稱:「很顯然,這些舉動跟促進和平方案的嘗試並不一致。」
值得注意的是,美國國防部上週二以庫存不足為由,宣布暫停一部分對烏軍援,凍結了「愛國者」飛彈、具精確導引能力的多管火箭系統(GMLRS)、「地獄火」飛彈(Hellfire)和榴彈砲彈藥出貨。
美聯社消息指,此舉不只讓烏克蘭和其他盟國訝異,就連川普本人也措手不及,認為國防部沒有跟白宮妥善協調。不過,美國國防部發言人威爾森(Kingsley Wilson)稱,防長赫格塞斯(Pete Hegseth)並非在沒有諮詢川普的情況下採取行動。
8日的白宮內閣會議上,川普被問及暫停軍援是誰做的決策,他回應:「我不知道,你說呢?」
CNN解讀,此事突顯川普政府內部、尤其是赫格塞斯領導下的美國國防部,決策過程經常是缺乏計畫的。
美國網媒AXIOS則指出,共和黨內部的鷹派人士對政府的國防決策也充滿擔憂,例如參議員麥康諾(Mitch McConnell)便表示,總統因而常常要替手下的官員「收爛攤子」,呼籲川普應拒絕政府內部孤立主義者限制提供武器的呼聲。

为了应对军事挑战,德国国防军需要一支由26万名现役士兵组成的军队。然而,目前距离这一目标还差5万到6万人。人们越来越怀疑,仅靠自愿兵能否填补这一缺口。
(德國之聲中文網)美國總統川普週二(7月8日)在社群平台「真實社群」(Truth Social)上發文稱,將於週三早上發布貿易公告,涉及至少7個國家。
週一晚間,川普宣布對14個國家實施新關稅稅率,其中大多數是亞洲國家,包含日本、韓國、柬埔寨、印尼、泰國、馬來西亞、寮國和緬甸,稅率介於25%至40%。
川普表示,雖然這些關稅將於8月1日生效,但仍有談判空間,「如果(有國家)提出不同的方案,而我喜歡的話,我們就會接受」。
川普為何針對亞洲國家?
有分析人士認為,川普政府這次集中針對亞洲國家,是美國間接打擊中國的策略,目的是在中美持續的貿易與戰略競爭中,削弱中國的區域貿易網絡。
中國是日本、韓國、馬來西亞、緬甸和印尼的最大貿易夥伴,也是柬埔寨與泰國的最大進口來源國。這意味著,這些亞洲國家與中國經貿聯繫密切,而美國藉由對這些國家施壓,有可能迫使它們重新考慮與中國的經濟合作關係。
上週,川普政府宣布與越南達成貿易協議,美國同意將對越南的關稅降至20%,但其中一項條款規定,對所謂的貨物轉運(即中國透過越南等地向第三國銷售貨物)徵收40%的關稅。
越南與美國的協議可能成為其他亞洲國家與川普談判的範例,但部分觀察人士指出,若美國在與各國的貿易協議中納入限制與中國貿易的條款,恐怕會適得其反。
凱投宏觀(Capital Economics)經濟學家萊瑟(Gareth Leather)表示:「若如部分報導所言,美國正試圖讓亞洲其他地區把中國排除在區域供應鏈之外,那麼談判可能會出現問題。」
萊瑟指出,這些亞洲國家可能會擔心損害與中國的關係,擔心遭到中國的報復。中國對它們而言,不僅是比美國更大的貿易夥伴,也是更重要的投資來源。
凱投宏觀另一位分析師威廉斯(Mark Williams)也認為,鑒於越南對美國出口的商品數量,該國在與美國的談判中處於弱勢,因此美國及越南達成的貿易協議並不是「其他國家必須跟隨的範本」。
他強調,對其他國家來說,從美越貿易協議以及美國之前與英國達成的協議得到的關鍵教訓是,「他們都會被預期要限制部分與中國的貿易往來」。
今年6月達成的美英貿易協議中包含了一項條款,要求英國遵守嚴格的美國安全要求,例如審查供應鏈和公司所有權,此舉被視為針對中國。
一切都只與中國有關嗎?
川普週一公布給各國領導人的關稅通知信中,稱這些國家對美國的貿易順差是「對經濟甚至國家安全的重大威脅」,再加上川普政府早前已經與中國達成貿易協議框架,美中貿易戰宣告暫時休兵,可見與其他亞洲國家的關稅問題並非僅是劍指北京。
過去幾週以來,川普批評日本「被寵壞」,且沒有購買更多美國商品,尤其是農產品。另外如韓國及印度也被川普政府點名沒有購買足夠美國農產品。
日本及韓國都已表態將持續與美國談判。華府智庫「戰略與國際研究中心」(CSIS)資深經濟顧問雷恩施(Bill Reinsch)向DW表示,考慮到川普帶來的不確定性,一些亞洲國家可能不會願意做出足夠大的讓步來安撫他。
他認為,目前讓各國裹足不前的原因可能是,「如果我們現在同意了什麼,你(川普)會不會兩週後又針對其他產業加徵關稅?」雷恩施強調,如果美國無法被信任,「很難讓人願意做出承諾」。
川普再宣布對銅、藥品加徵關稅
儘管與各國的關稅談判尚未結束,川普週二在內閣會議上再度宣布新關稅。
川普稱,美國將針對進口銅及相關衍生品徵收50%的關稅,並且很快會對半導體和藥品徵稅,其中藥品稅率可能高達200%,但會提供約一年的緩衝期。此舉被視為進一步擴大這場已經引起全球市場震動的貿易戰。
銅對電動車、軍事裝備、電網和許多消費品的生產至關重要。這項新關稅將與先前已實施的鋼鐵、鋁和汽車進口關稅相呼應,但目前尚不清楚針對銅的關稅何時生效。
